To put it simply, Pantip is a must, especially if you' re shopping on a budget.

The Pantip Plaza experience
Pantip Plaza is a computer shopping mall located in Bangkok. It is located around the corner from the BTS (Train Station) at Ratchathewi, and is near to the First Hotel and a foreign embassy.

There are many food stalls outside the plaza, selling local food and drinks. Upon entering the Plaza, you will be greeted by numerous stores in the Foyer - every square ft seemed to be fully utilised either for rental or walking with no space wasted. There are 2 elevators on the extreme left and right of the entrance, leading all the way to the 3rd floor.

As expected, there are many shops selling computer products... and almost as many shops selling pirated softwares, movies and games at every level. Generally the price of softwares (per CD) is about 150 Baht, or less than 5 US Dollars, while the cheapest is as low as 120 Baht. Movies and music CDs seemed cheaper while games cost a lot more. DVD pricesare about 50 or 100 Baht more
